ROYAL DESPATCH CASE

APPEAL'AGAINST DISQUALIFICATION.;

(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIGHT.)

SYDNEY, 10th September. The stipendiary stewards to-day dealt with the case of Royal Dispatch, which was previously adjourned to enable Mr. H. A. Knight, the owner, to be present to show- why the ,horse should not be dealt with.

No evidence was called, but Mr. Knight reiterated what he had said in New Zealand, that nothing had occurred to shake his confidence in his trainer, EV D. Jones.

The stewards decided to disqualify Royal Dispatch for twelve months. In arriving at this decision they were influenced by the contention that the owner must be taken to be responsible for the action of his employees. Although they considered Mr. Knight was in no way implicated in the case, they took the view that he should be penalised to the extent of losing the services of his horee.

_ Mr.Kmght.has given notice of his intention to appeal to the A.J.C. Committee. The appeal.will probably be dealt with to-morrow.
